The least expensive barrier for your - presumably not acid free -
cardboard tubes would probably be aluminum foil. If you covered it with
muslin, it would protect it from being torn as well as giving your
textiles an extra bit of padding and serving to help keep them from
sliding around on the rolls.

Subject: Re: Least expensive barrier
Hi, Milissa,
We have rolled our acidic tubes in acid free blotter paper, and then
rolled the textile on the tube. However, over time the blotter paper
will become acidic and need to be replaced. The sheets of blotter are
not wide enough to cover an entire tube, so it takes 2 or 3 (depends on
length of tube), overlapping each other, to cover full length.
